Welcome to Transcend Goa 2026!

In collaboration with Goa Future Proof and supported by the Government of Goa, the Entertainment Society of Goa (ESG) plays a pivotal role in shaping Goa’s media and entertainment ecosystem.

As the state’s nodal body for film, media, and creative industries, ESG is dedicated to nurturing talent, enabling infrastructure, and fostering meaningful national and international collaborations. By embracing transmedia storytelling, ESG encourages innovation across cinema, digital content, immersive media, gaming, and emerging technologies—creating new pathways for creators, producers, and entrepreneurs.

Through progressive policy support, skill development initiatives, and global partnerships, ESG works in alignment with Goa Future Proof to ensure sustainable growth, cultural exchange, and economic opportunity—positioning Goa as a future-ready destination for creative excellence

Why Transcend Matters

Transmedia is the architecture of future storytelling.
A single story can live across film, animation, gaming, comics, immersive media, and AI, with each medium contributing a distinct narrative dimension. It is not adaptation; it is expansion.
Audiences are no longer passive.
In a fragmented digital world, audiences explore, engage and participate. Transmedia storytelling transforms them into active collaborators, feeling deeper emotional immersion and long-term fandom.
A creative, cultural and economic revolution.
Cross-platform storytelling unlocks powerful commercial pathways including IP licensing, merchandising, global co-productions, interactive extensions and immersive experiences. It enables creators to build expansive story universes with international appeal and longevity.

Experience Goa’s first pilot transmedia summit.

This inaugural edition of Transcend Goa brings together global and Indian leaders across film, OTT, gaming, animation and immersive media. It’s an intimate, curated space to test ideas, forge alliances and shape Goa’s role in the next wave of transmedia storytelling.
